We just returned from our annual family trip to Penn Yan to visit with family. Some of the group stayed with our family, but some of us stayed at the Colonial. We always have a good experience when staying there and it is literally across the street from our relatives, so the location is perfect. Rooms are clean and while... More

The location is great if you like bodies of water. The rooms were clean and are kept that way. It is a nice place but is worn and lost the crispiness of new things. Price is very reasonable. It is a big place for the small family to run. Like all people the owners have there days. All things considered... More

I called and made reservations for a single bed/suite which I was told had a full living area as well as a kitchen. When we entered our room I saw that we didn't have a full living area but one upholstered chair and a straight back chair. There was a charming small kitchen with an apartment sized stove and oven...

I was visiting an elderly family friend in Penn Yan and since I did not want to make work for her I looked for a place to stay nearby. After reading the reviews I called Colonial Motel and was offered a great rate for the week I needed. Upon arrival I was greeted by the couple who own and run... More

Very clean and comfy rooms - the owners do it all themselves. Small, quiet motel with lake view. Close to town and in the middle of all wine trails. This is a very old, but remodeled, home/building. Lots of period accents. It is not "outdated" as other reviews mention. If you want modern appliances and features, this is not the... More

This motel is nearest to Keuka College. We traditionally stay there when up for my college reunion. It is clean but very, dated. The rooms we were in overlooked the back road, not the lake. The a/c worked (the reason we don't stay in the dorms is their lack of a/c). There was a little kitchenette, which we didn't use.... More

We stayed here 2 years ago (against friends advice), and were greeted by a friendly couple. The building is old, cramped and dusty, but just as a place to lay our heads, we were fine. However, last year we booked again but had to cancel in advance. The owner was rude, angry and argumentative. I guess it depends on your... More
